I thought this was the main issue was saturated fats,
where The Paleo Diet differs from NeanderThin for example:

http://www.powerhealth.net/selected_articles.htm by Stephen Byrnes:

The “lean” Paleolithic diet approach has been argued for quite voraciously
by Dr.’s Loren Cordain and Boyd Eaton in a number of popular and
professional publications (91). Cordain and Eaton are believers in the
Lipid Hypothesis of heart disease--the belief (debunked in myth number six,
above) that saturated fat and dietary cholesterol contribute to heart
disease. Because of this, and the fact that Paleolithic peoples or their
modern equivalents did/do not suffer from heart disease, Cordain and Eaton
espouse the theory that Paleolithic peoples consumed most of their fat
calories from monounsaturated and polyunsaturated sources and not saturated
fats. Believing that saturated fats are dangerous to our arteries, Cordain
and Eaton stay in step with current establishment nutritional thought and
encourage modern peoples to eat a diet like our ancestors. This diet, they
believe, was rich in lean meats and a variety of vegetables, but was low in
saturated fat. The evidence they produce to support this theory is,
however, very selective and misleading. (92) Saturated fats do not cause
heart disease as was shown above, and our Paleolithic ancestors ate quite a
bit of saturated fat from a variety of animal sources.
